British Library: Sacred Exhibition

Between the 9-11th of July 2007 leading scholars and academics met at the British Library leading to share knowledge and ideas about sacred text in contemporary contexts. Hosted by multi-faith research organisation, The Lokahi Foundation, the conference explored how religion is intertwined with politics, social strife or cohesion, international relations, ethics and law.

The Lokahi Foundation

The Lokahi Foundation is a social impact charity that envisages a more dynamic and robust society that embraces religious and cultural diversity with respect and understanding. Our research probes the foundations of society's beliefs and values. These findings are brought to bear on our projects which serve communities that are experiencing real problems resulting from misunderstanding or intolerance. We hope that within these communities our work achieves creative harmony from diversity - which is what the Hawaiian word 'lokahi' means.
